273 Rodeo Drive for Men (Cologne)

Fred Hayman · 1990

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Fred Hayman 273 Rodeo Drive for Men is a citrusy, woody men's scent that leans towards autumn and winter and suits leisure hours and evenings. Most voters pick autumn, with winter and spring following and summer least favoured. Leisure and evening wear come first, though it also works for daytime and the office. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the small number of votes keeps that picture tentative. Bergamot and lavender open fresh and citrusy. Oakmoss and amber in the heart add a spicy, earthy, resinous depth. Cedar and musk settle it into a woody, chypre-style dry base. Karl Lagerfeld Lagerfeld Man and Falcon Cosmetic GmbH Falcon have a close profile.

273 Rodeo Drive (Eau de Parfum)

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Eau de Parfum

Fred Hayman 273 Rodeo Drive Eau de Parfum is a floral-fruity feminine scent that pairs gardenia, peach and jasmine with tuberose and plum. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, with daytime and office wear less common. White flowers and ripe fruit lead at the top; in the heart, apricot, orris root and ylang-ylang pull that sweetness towards a powdery, creamy side. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, cedar, spices and amber sets a woody, warm, slightly oriental floor under it. The overall feel is sweet and gourmand.

Eau de Toilette

Fred Hayman Touch Eau de Toilette is a fresh, floral and green women's fragrance that opens on orange blossom, plum and aldehydes; it has been discontinued. Voters rate both longevity and sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small, so this is a limited sample. The scent is aimed at women. Among the top notes, bergamot, lemon and peach sit alongside the orange blossom and plum for a fresh start, with green notes rounding it out. In the heart, lily of the valley, yellow rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang lead. The base of vanilla, amber, cedar and musk settles it into a sweet, woody, oriental ground. Synthetic and spicy facets run through the accords. Jean Patou Sublime (Eau de Parfum) and Arrogance Arrogance pour Femme have a close profile.

Touch for Men

7.8

Fred Hayman · 1995

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Fred Hayman Touch for Men is a fresh, fougère-style men's fragrance built around lavender, spices and amber. It reads fresh and citrusy, with green and floral touches softening the edges. Lavender leads, spices add a warm, sharp streak, and amber brings a sweet depth. Woody and earthy accords sit alongside a faint smoky, leathery trace in the background. Brut Eau de Brut and Le Père Pelletier Lavande Ambrée have a close profile.

273 Indigo / 273 Indigo for Women

7.4

Fred Hayman · 2003

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Fred Hayman 273 Indigo / 273 Indigo for Women is a fresh, sweet women's fragrance that sets jasmine, peach and orange over vanilla and musk. Its sillage is rated as good, though that rests on a small number of votes. The scent reads clearly feminine. A citrusy, fruity freshness leads into a floral body. Jasmine and carnation carry the flowers, while peach and orange keep it lively. Vanilla and musk soften the sweetness and add a powdery warmth, with a light spicy touch in the background. Rochas Eau Sensuelle and La Rive Madame Isabelle have a close profile.
